About this property

Where Victorian Meets Cottage Farmhouse

The hiking, mountain biking and rafting are great in the Salida area now. Or sit on our gigantic deck and enjoy the Mountain View.

Beer more your thing?: The Sunflower Cottage is located within just a few blocks of SoulCraft Brewery or Tres Litros so after you walk along the river, have a brew and relax and enjoy the Salida scene.

If you live in the Denver area, you should skip the I-70 traffic fiasco and come to Chaffee County for a more realistic Colorado old-time experience.

A rare combination of vintage Victorian and modern amenities in a cottage setting. Perfect House to visit for those who want to enjoy the Heart of the Rockies, Salida.Wi-Fi included. Due to the antique furniture nature of the property, it is not recommended for rambunctious children. Short-term rental license number 0344.

This 120 year old home has been entirely remodeled with attentive care to re-use the original molding where possible. The two-bedrooms sleep six. The upstairs bath includes a claw foot tub and shower combination. The lower bathroom, down a flight of stairs has a shower, sink and toilet only. The kitchen was re-modeled in 2006 as we popped the top to make the ceilings 10 feet tall. It includes a customer handmade, wood topped island. New carpet in 2014 and 2024. Corner Lot. Huge deck in the back yard to sprawl out on and sit under the elm tree. Beautifully landscaped corner lot. Laundry facilities on-site.

Nice place in a great town

The house was great. It was nicely remodeled and had the space we needed for a family of four.We loved sitting on the back deck and playing board games in the dining room.The fenced in yard was nice for our dog.It was stuffy and warm the first day but like others said after opening windows and running some fans it became comfortable the rest of the stay.To have access to the garage would be nice to store equipment like bikes.We loved Salida.

Quaint cottage with amazing yard for dogs.

We really enjoyed our week long stay at this lovely old home. It was stocked with everything you could possibly need, including a full spice cabinet! It’s centrally located so we could bike wherever we wanted to go in town. The beds were comfortable and there was a nice, large modern bathroom on the lower level. The master bedroom had a room air conditioner which we needed on a few of the evenings. This house was clean and very thoughtfully appointed. We will definitely stay there again!

About the host

Hosted by Doug and/or Leanna Lampshire

Host profile image
Doug and Leanna are Colorado Natives who fell in love with Salida and wish to share the beauty, charm and pace this gem has to offer. We love to ride downtown on bikes and go out for a glass of wine, eat at a great local restaurant and listen to a local band. Riding "duckies" down the river is a blast!

Why they chose this property

There is just something very tranquil about this house. You WILL feel it when you get here.
We invested in this property because we respect the style and grace of older homes, transom windows. The original parlor and 8" mouldings are very appealing to us.

What makes this property unique

Sit on the loveseat rocker on the front porch or grill on the back deck. The back deck is large and private. The backyard is big enough to play catch, croquet or frisbee.
